"Each day, we all have choices about what sort of person we intend to be. We can choose to stand up or stay silent. We can laugh it off or wring our hands. We can dig deep or barely scratch the surface. We can keep our promises or abandon them like houseplants shriveled from lack of water. We can pray or not. We can ask for help or shoulder it alone."

From the Editor's Letter in "Conscious Choice" magazine, January 2006
